UPDATE Regarding the airport transport! Our lovely bus number 119 doesn't go anymore. A few weeks ago they changed it and now there's a trolleybus number 59 !
Thank you!! Heading to Prague tomorrow and was wondering why the PID Litačka app didn't refer to the 119 bus but kept suggesting the 59, Děkuji!
Super, thank you. Are there ticket booths in airport?
We visited Prague only because I came across these videos and fell in love with the city! Thanks for all you do.
Makes us really happy, thanks!
Ikr! The best influencers haha. They made me fall in love with Krakow too 😂 Going back in November 😊
@HONESTGUIDE Janek Hi 👋 I'm a Czech 🇨🇿 American 🇺🇸 and in Chicago there is a neighborhood called Pilsen . It is because the people who came over , my family included were Czech 🇨🇿 ❤️. My family opened a tavern 🍺 there ❤️. Just fyi for you ❤️ Can't wait to visit Czechia 🇨🇿 I wish my grandparents were still alive to see how beautiful Prage and how Czechia is now . They had to leave in 1937 , well you know the history 💔.
Same for me :D
@@HONESTGUIDEI went to czech republic because of the hostel movies😊
It's crazy that years ago I used to watch videos from this channel and now I'm living here and working towards my dream
I am Polish and I love kofola!❤
i hate it
Ja też
I love kofola as well. If you are looking for it there are multiple offers on Allegro with different variants - I buy a pack of six/eight bottles every few months, sometimes adding also Vinea.
❤

No question from me, I just wanted to say thank you to both of the Honest Guides who are a HUGE reason why I became such a passionate learner of all things Czech. Over the 7 years you two have been making videos, I must have seen them all! They are what kept me motivated when I decided to study Czech as my foreign language of choice in University. Ever since I was a little kid and my Czech grandma would tell me stories of her home and it's always been my dream to go to the Czech Republic. Hopefully some day, I will be able to so I can use all of this Honest Knowledge!
Much love from Nebraska,
An Honest Fan
Can 💯 recommend a visit to Czech Republic (and the Honest Guides)
If you need any tips or help with the language, I would gladly help you
I didn't get to know my grandparents, but they were both from Moravia. We are going there next to search for my roots! And you know what? We may be able to get an EU passport through our ancestry! (kinda tired of America, if you know what I mean). My last name is Pijaček, and there are tons of them here. (Spelled "Pyacek" now, but I may change it back). You gotta come here! It's A-MAY- zing!
I absolutely love Prague's public transport. I love how far some of the bus and metro lines reach.
I love that you only have 4 metro lanes you need and that the trains are old and not in best condition but because of that are very light and accelerate fast. There is also no AC needed cause windows are always open and constant airstream
@@Schacal6666 There are current only 3 metro lines. A 4th one will open by 2029. And they're all well connected with trams, busses and trains throughout the city.
@@Schacal6666 huh
I like to go to the end of the tram or Metro and explore...been their 12 times, I even spotted these two pushing a bell across Charles bridge, I kid you not 😃
Yes, exactly! If you fancy this stuff - there is a well-stocked online shop with different transport memorabilia, a historical tram that takes you to the pub inside of a tram, as well as a restaurant that delivers food and drinks by train. For the full experience you can reach Prague by rail - it takes a long time from Poland, but it is a nice experience.
Regarding obtaining cash, I was a French student on a 3 month internship in Prague and as long as I sticked to ATMs from big banks (Raiffeisen, ČSOB, KB, etc.) the rate seemed very decent with my French debit card. And at least the machine was upfront about all fees, rate and whatever bits of money that I would lose during the withdrawal.
The biggest issue with these bank ATMs is to carefully pick how much you want to withdraw. They often offer crazy amounts for foreign cards, starting at hundreds of euros and going up. There's always an option to pick your own amount, use it.
This is what I always recommend - to find ATM of some local bank, not using those ATMs called just an "ATM" which are there just for stupid tourists and when I visited Portugal in 2019, my Czech card didn't work with those Euronet worldwide ATMs which I still don't know why, it's clear that these ATMs are meant for American tourists.
Well yea ofc. Its Czech Republic, not a third world country.
same for Asian banks? i will add Prague on my trip next month. quite worried with monetary situation idk of exchange or withdraw
@@user-ew6dv6is2pI'd suggest you get just a little cash for emergencies. Decide in advance how much that would be both in Czech crowns and in your currency. You'll be able to pay almost everywhere with your card.
Prague is the only major European city I’ve visited and as much as I want to visit other cities I’m dying to go back
Do you have any nightclub recommendations?
11:46 as prague tram driver I love this tip! Thanks guys for mention!!
Hi Jose, I believe that you are from Prague, just needed a suggestions from you, I am planning to visit Prague this August. Can you please tell me whether thats a suitable month to visit Prague?
My wife & I love Praque. It is a must stop on every European trip from the USA. Praque has the best food in Europe and the best food in Prague is at the Kantýna.
We do take the express bus from the Airport because it is the simplest way to get to the main train station (least stress).
Within the city we walk, taking the transit only to outlying castles & cathedrals.
We always take in a classical music concert in Prague.
best food in Europe ? Sure you are american..
Prague or Praha.
At some point, Honest Guide would become a tourist spot for Prague as well
So far out of all the European capitals I've been to, Prague remains my favorite. Really reasonable prices, great local food (especially for the cold weather) and really cheap beer. You could find amazing tap beer literally everywhere! Your guides were also a lifesaver. The fair currency-exchange list is amazing, as well as some local restaurant recommendations. And the restaurants I loved the most, were the ones names "Lokál". There were a few restaurant locations around the city that seemed to be a "chain" and every day they had a new menu with really tasty and relatively cheap food! I can't wait to visit Prague again in the near future to hopefully discover more of the city and more amazing dishes!
P.S. One weird thing that I noticed is that youtube seems to have unsubscribed me from the channel. I have been a subscriber for many years and today I noticed that the subscribe button said "Subscribe" instead of "Subscribed" with the little bell that it's usually like. Not sure if it was a visual bug or youtube really did unsubscribe me.
So, if the city was a bit pricier (which I would fully welcome), it wouldn't be your favourite city any more?
You mention low prices three times in this short comment. No cultural events. No historic sights. Sigh..
Lokál is a chain! And their fried cheese is legendary. All in all top quality service, top quality ingredients, great beer and all that with affordable prices.
We love Prague....back for our 3rd visit in January, this time for our honeymoon.....
For everyone planning a trip to Prague who is stumbling upon this video and channel: your're in great luck!
I Cannot recommend these guys enough. I was planning a trip to Prague for me and my girlfriend a month back and started doing research not that long before departure. Found the honest guide channel and checked out this video at the beginning + most of the Prague related videos you guys have done. Had a BLAST in your amazing city, and we got to experience and see so many great places/restaurants/bars thanks to you guys. Thank you a lot Janek & Honza, you guys are truely amazing (and honest) guides!
Hi I’m visiting in 2 days with my girlfriend. Do you have a few recommendations for where to dine or what bars or activities to got to?
Will he much appreciated
visiting soon as well, any tips for bars and restaurants?
hope your trip went/iw going well. me and my girlfriend are goiung in a few days. any recommendations@@ferriscor
Great video!! Just a note, the new bus to the airport is number 59! Changed March 2024, but it’s the same route same ticket.
Great job, guys! cesko je krasna zeme.
Thank you so much for your very helpful advices! You helped us a lot in preparing our trip to Prague which is next week 🎉 Can't wait 😀
Just wanted to say I really appreciate all of your videos! I stumbled across this channel while looking for tourist scams and while they weren't about the country I was researching, I definitely want to visit Prague sometime in the future!
I have been watching your videos for several years probably and this summer I finally visited Brno and Prague with my girlfriend for a few days. It was really nice and we liked both of cities a lot. Historical sights are beautiful, food is delicious and of course beer is great! Thank you for all the tips and recommendations and keep up the honest guiding!
Going to Prague tomorrow for a week, this video came at the right time for me! Thank you!
Every country should have a channel like yours, much respect!
I miss Kofola,, it has really unique taste can't really describe it. Sadly you cant get that here.
Fun fact ''Molo'' is used as an synonym for male '' private parts'' in Finnish, people in Bratislava were wondering why i smile like an idiot when i saw restaurant with that name.
There are villages in Czechia, whose names seems to be funny even to us. It's innocent, centuries back it had different meaning, but in today's language it's Řitka - Little butthole 49.8945143N, 14.2992329E , or Pičín - The Cunt town 49.7453542N, 14.0577494E :D
Love your content. Have inspired me to visit. Can’t wait to see what you have planned for the future
I discovered you guys the day before I went there for a 2-day visit about 5 years ago. Loved your content so much that I stick around - I've probably spent more time watching you can I spent in Prague!
I'm plannig my trip to Europe and this video convinced me of visiting Prague! Super helpful, thank you!
I watched a lot of your videos before travelling to Prague last July. I visited Cukrar, Sia, The Red Stag and Kantyna. Plus a modern Czech restaurant called The Eatery, we were sitting on the chef’s table, it was an amazing experience!
You just made me visit Prague next year. Love all your content! Stay safe Janek!🤙🏼
Perfect timing! Im going in a couple of months! I mean, ive already watched all your other videos but this was a nice summary video. Thanks alot!
Just back from Prague. First of all, thanks for all of your videos, I'm following you since years and even watched all the videos that are no longer available (loved the food tours and found some good places in them). Regarding cash: I draw money form KB (Komerční banka) ATMs, they didn't take any fees (if you decline the conversion) for that (thank you KB). One place that once was shown in your video was Naše maso in Dlouha Road which is a butcher that serves awesome burger and especially the Pastrami Sandwich is great. One of my favorite fine dining restaurants is Blue Wagon which is in Vinorhady and deserves much more attantion than it has. We had the cheapest beer in Restaurace U Mlynáře between Charles Bridge and the Castle (about 1€) and they also serve good food (I had a not perfect Svickova but ll the others were pretty good for the price) especially considering that place in town where it is more likely to hit a tourist trap. All in all, coming back since more than 20 years now and thank you Honza and Janek (the guy behind the camera first :-)) for all the time we had together and I will be back soon. Cheers and love to all the nice people we met in Czech Republic over all.
Just came back from a trip to Hrad Sternberk, absolute amazing Place. Located in beautiful Sazava/Sassau Region. Don’t forget the surrounding of Prague/ Prag. Kutna Hora/ Kuttenberg beautiful small Silver City, with the mind blowing skeleton Church, I be never seen such a place in the World. Or directly at the City-Border Pruhonice with Palace and a real huge Park, or Karlstejn, one of the most beautiful medieval Castles…
So glad to have found you! Thank you! Practical, funny and very updated information about the city. Love it!
I visited prague on an extended trip to europe a while ago mainly due to this channel. Keep promoting this great city!
Hello ! Thank you very much for this incredible video !
A small question that was running in my head for a bit of time, would you maybe consider doing videos for foreigners that want to move to Prague and Czech Republic, or even that are living there ? Some tips for the everyday life and so on.
I myself moved to Prague a few month ago, after spending my Erasmus there, and I absolutely love it ! I still love watching your videos about facts that I sometimes already know, but just the fact that you're speaking about one of my favourite city is incredible ! Keep it up !
Ok! Will prepare something like that for the second channel! www.youtube.com/@HONESTVLOG
search for a channel called Dream Prague, she in an American who moved to Prague many years ago and has a lot of videos about this topic
I just came back from Prague yesterday. I loved it, cant wait to go back!
Any suggestions or things to keep in mind when visiting Prague. I read about trains (activating tickets before the journey) and giving tips when dining in restaurants and pubs.
Great video man, I have been watching all of your videos and knew most of the information already, but I just love knowing more about this city and I am actually coming in December with my friends, thank you! ❤
Great video. I usually visit Prague once or twice a year and love it every time!
I'm absolutely adore the Public transport in Prague. I'm come all the way from Tel-Aviv. And i recommended every time when i be asked how to go to City center. I use all the time it's brilliant. And also travel one day trip to some other city like Brno, Budejce, ext... Love your show hope to meet u for a beer on xmass
For my entire life, Prague has always been my #1 on my bucket list! It’s just absolutely stunningly beautiful to me! The gothic architecture! The aesthetic of the city! I just, have loved it for decades. I can not die before I make it there one day!
Beautiful architecture and so much of it!!!! But also crowded even in fall amd anbit dirty with too much graffiti.
Great video again guys. I’ve been watching your channel for around 18 months (I’ve probably seen all of your old videos too) and I’ve been to Prague because of them. I’m going again later this year too 😁 great city.
I watched many of his videos before going to Prague in 2019. Now I am currently a tourist in Germany and think of his videos and I am always so thankful for him 👍
My wife and I just came back from Prague and I have to say that I planned almost the entirety of the trip based on your suggestions, so thanks a lot! I actually think I saw you around the Mlynska kavarna on Sunday (04/09) and tried to catch you and say hi but couldn't find you.
Gluten free top tips: in the supermarkets, there is a traditional honey cake made gluten free (Marlenka brand) absolutely delicious! And in the square near the Bethlehem Chapel, there is an amazing gluten free Italian restaurant called Alriso. Most coeliacs who eat there once, go again as soon as they can. All the food is gluten free except a couple of the beers on the menu.
Thank you so much for the tip! I am a Czech coeliac but I am not from Prague so I didn't know about this restaurant but I will definitely try it next time I'm in Prague. It looks very good!
Fly out monday! Im excited, thanks for the great videos!
i was in prague a few weeks ago and of course watched your videos. i had a good time thanks to your videos like toll, restaurant or tourist traps. thanks for making the videos
One of the best channels on RUclips! You guys are so genuine and really are helping people!
Arriving in prague tomorrow! Cant wait, been binging all the videos! Thanks for all your hard work
How was you over all experience in Prague , like rate it out of 10

This is so helpful, keep doing what you’re doing!! Thanks!
Awesome content as alway, keep up the good work. Have new work colleagues in Prague so a trip will be in order soon, look forward to it, and I am so prepared with all the content you share. ❤
I miss Prague (first European country I been to) I visited last september 2022
My first ever solo travel to Prague was so amazing and memorable because of your videos! I just want to say that you and Honza make ONE OF THE BESTS TRAVEL VLOGS ever on youtube. Like how I wish other European cities have local vloggers as informative, and brilliant, and honest as you guys. Thank you! and more please.
Very helpful and honest videos all the time, I have been a big fan for many years and love Prague! Big up Johnny from Manchester Uk 😊
❤I absolutely love your videos, keep it up, ruthlessly honest
Literally heading to Prague tomorrow. Perfect timing for this video!
How do you like it here so far?
@@spildao2872 spent 4 nights there and absolutely loved it! Beautiful city with a fascinating history and lovely beer.
Janek casually letting his laptop sit on his knees over a GD river is the most anxiety inducing thing I've seen all week.
Basically balancing on one thigh while he gestures wildly. I was sure it was going in.
Honest Prague guys are the best. Visited Prague and their suggestions were priceless. Sent link to friends who are planning a trip. One note. We tried to use some common terms in Czech like good morning, thank you and please. My accent must have been horrible because no one seemed to acknowledge our effort. I'm sure we insulted them. Keep up the good work.
I love your videos. Thanks a lot for all the tips.
I visited Prague for the first time in May and you guys were lifesavers! I had the best time following your videos suggestions. I’m looking forward to returning for even longer next time! ❤
😂😂😂sure sure
Not only Prague is the place to be. I like to be in Plzen. Living my dream, when I was 12 years old, to drink a Pils in Pilsen.
I like to walk along the German/Czech Border in Klingenthal/Kraslice/Bublava or Bayerisch Eisenstein/Zelezna Ruda.
I arrived in Prague 3 days ago due to an emergency with no time to do ANY research and came across your videos after arriving. THANK YOU!!! Funny, informative, and very helpful. So glad I found them.
Thank you for all your guides, they are so helpful! ☆
We just spent the last week in Prague. Your local chlebicek recommendation at Sisters and golden triangle were quite delicious.
Paris banned scooters and I hope Prague will do the same.
Thank you Janek and Honza for another helpful video about Prague!
I wish they would ban the scooters for rent, which are all over streets, but I don't want them to ban privately owned scooters. I still use one once in a while, instead of using my car. Besides that, there are new bikes for rent, which can't just be dumped anywhere, but needs to be parked in designated areas, or else they will force you to pay extra. Just need them in more areas of the city.
They should be in car lane and obey the rules . We have them in US cities total pain in the arse because they are on sidewalks 🙄
@@Kim-J312 are you crazy? People are not very considerate in cars here. There are some bike lanes, but they are full of pot holes. And sometimes the bike lane just dissappear in the middle of lanes where cars are merging. I have my own scooter and go on the sidewalk, if they are wide enough and dont have cobble stone. And I usually don't drive faster than a person can run. I step off if there's too many people and respect the pedestrians. When Prague gets proper bike lanes, I'll use them, like in Denmark or Netherlands.
It's sad because it was supposed to be nice way how to move around, but it ended just as overpriced tourist attraction and nobody normal really uses it for moving around, it's just for fun. I tried these scooters and it's very unstable and most of them are locked to 20 km/h max, so I don't feel good with that on road because I am too slow, that's why people move on sidewalks with that. It it was at least 25 or 30, it would be completely ok on road, but it's still not really stable, you have to always hold it with both hands.....it's much better to use some e-bike.
@@simonp37 I agree that driving it on a sidewalk is lesser evil than driving it on a road, it's not ideal, but you really don't feel safe with that on road, but if you are not stupid or drunken, you can use it safely on sidewalk in places where it's possible, in some places it's not possible, in some yes, I think that banning generally dringing on sidewalks is not good solution because there are places where you have 10m wide empty sidewalk and drive some 20 km/h scooter on road is totaly stupid in such place.
But in center of Prague, using some scooters doesn't make much sense anyway, most of people just walk to some tram or metro, riding there on such stupid thing would be too complicated and stresfull and also car drivers can be very agressive and hate you if you are not also in car and they will try to kill you, people who are that crazy to drive in center of Prague are mostly psychopats who will not make single step without car and try to block them with some 20 km/h thing, they will just go over you and another driver will kick you to some hole next to road instead of calling an ambulance, I am not kidding, they will do that.
Great guide Janek, very useful as I'm taking my son to Prague for 4 days in October. Thanks for such a great guide.
Looking forward to coming in January. Hopefully cold and snowy. Thanks for the vid. Awesome
Nazdar, Janků a Honzo! Dekuju mockrát za kazdeho Honest Guide episodiček! Ja, Američan, jsem bydlel 1994 do 1999 v Praze. Bohužel nemám šanci vrátit.
Vaše videa me pomáhat ale, vrátit virtuální.
I liked your out-of-the center videos, like the one on Jižní Město. Maybe you could do more on other čtvrtý.
When I lived in Prague, there were ghost tours, history tours, and Rock-n-Roll dissidence and Velvet Revolution tours. Could you do videos going to the sites of 1. folklore, 2. the Pražského Povstání 3. Cultural dissent that snowballed into the Velvet Revolution 4. Communist sites or places affected by Communist historical events, like Vítkov and the story of Gottwald's interment ?
What a time to be in Prague!! Thanks for the suggestions, we'll do our best!
@@HONESTGUIDEMy parents were in Prague for Prague Spring. They said everyone was acting so free that some girls just peed in public on the Charles Bridge.
Haven't been out of the UK since I was 6 years old (I'm 31 now) just got my passport and Prague will be the first foreign city I visit (Hopefully the first of many) your videos have helped me out with the planning so thanks!
Thanks for teaching people to be cool, your great efforts to eliminate "lock graffiti", restoring parks, exposing crooks and being so smart and funny. Yay Janek and Honza!
I love I love this channel. I'm going to Paris next year for my birthday. But I but after watching so many of your wonderful videos ,I am definitely planning a trip to Prague.
I was in Prague in 2019 at the start of a Viking River Cruise. I am so sad that I didn't discover Kofola until near the end of our trip when we had a stop in Bratislava. We're coming back at the end of the month and I am definitely having some Kofola when I get there. Hopefully, they'll have it at the airport so I can have it while waiting for my luggage. Sadly, nobody imports it to the States.
Also, we can get Pilsner Urquell here, but it tastes like garbage compared to what you can get from pubs and restaurants in Prague. It just doesn't travel well.
Oh no!!! My friend and I have visited Prague two weeks ago and we didn't know about the no alcohol in public law, we're German and always had a "Wegbier" (Beer-for-the-way) with us! 🙈🙈🙈 I mean we were absolutely civil and not drunk and/or loud, but nonetheless, thank god we managed to sail through and not get fined!
Yeah, honestly I've never seen anyone being fined for drinking alcohol il public. Most Czechs don't even know about this law/city ordinance. And if you drink only beer in public, that I believe no Czechs would find problematic.
By the way, Wegbier... you guys really have a word for everything. Love that!
if you are German, you can drink on public, these laws are valid only for Americans and Brits and homeless persons 😀
I would say this law I something like leverage law (similar to loitering in US) police will look away if you don’t make mess.
thank you for this awesome video, you covered every thing in this Video! nice job
Thoroughly enjoyed our several days in the beauty of Prague 5 years ago at the completion of our Viking Danube cruise. Had always wanted to go to Prague and it certainly was everything I’d hoped for and more! 💕. Watched your videos before hand and are still watching you! 💕😊💕😊😊💕😊💕😊
I hope you guys tackle a Prague guide during the Christmas season. There are other “guides” who say that everything is closed on Christmas day in Prague while others say it’s a festive day. I’ve seen a lot of conflicting sources that’s why The Honest Guide is my ultimate source of truth when it comes to everything Prague.
The conflicting information might stem from the fact that Czech Christmas happens on Christmas Eve, not Christmas Day. So everything is in full swing up to Christmas Eve and it's simmering down on Christmas Day and after.
Also note that by law many shops (all big ones) must close at noon on Christmas Eve and stay closed for Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
The whole month leading to christmas day is festive, especially sundays. Those are full of food and drink stands at the big squares. Christmas day (24th) is more like "hey if you forgot to buy something, you've got time until noon". Like Marvin said, everything closes at 12:00 on 24th and you're supposed to go back to your family and spend the rest of the day with them. The next day we usually visit our parents on 25th and on 26th we visit others (aunties, cousins, best friends ...). Then we go back to work on 27th, but not 100%, we already start making plans for new year's.
I experienced something I did not under stand last year at holiday season. I knew shops were closed from noon the 23rd till the 26th or 27th. So, I arrived early at the kaufland. When I tried to check out the guy behind me started yelling at the cashier not to accept my money. Not that I was paying with a large bill, 300kc for a 260 kc total. Do they not accept cash on the last day of shopping?? I ended up leaving my purchase there and walking out.
@@auroraresident2775 that makes zero sense. Like absolutely none. There's no connection to the xmass holidays, guy was probably crazy.
Also, the shops close at noon 24th, not 23rd.
@@auroraresident2775 No, there is no special rule about not accepting cash, they should accept it. Your description sounds rather like you met a crazy person.
This is a great summary of a lot of the advice you guys have given in other videos! I’m hoping to come to Prague in November so I’m going to be taking notes on this video 😅 One question that I hope you haven’t been asked too much-do you have a favourite Christmas market in Prague or elsewhere in the Czech Republic? If not, what are some of your favourite winter activities? Děkuji :))
Markets on the Václavské náměstí, Staroměstské náměstí, or Havelské Trhy, would be your best pick regarding Prague. Outside of Prague, Český Krumlov is a very nice place for winter markets. A lot of Czechs, however, travel to Dresden (either by car, which is 90 minutes, or by train, which is around 100 minutes) in Germany, where you can find truly outstanding Winter markets!
Regarding winter activities, Czech does not have high mountains like the Alps, but skiing is very popular. I would recommend Klínovec, Špindlerův Mlýn or Černá Hora. If skiing is not your thing, doing the same activities you do in the summer is also fine. Sightseeing, going out to the nature and so on is still very magical during the winter, that is if you are lucky enough to have snow when you arrive.
My favourites are actually those at castles. A lot of Czech castles (almost every) have a christmas markets either in front of them or in the castle inner "square". I would recommend those at Křivoklát castle, that is not too far away from Prague. Then there is the famous Karlštejn obviously, probably the most iconic Czech castle. So check some of those.
If you are interested in authentic local Christmas markets, come to Brno for it, city center is small and you can easily walk from one Christmas market to another, each one is a little bit different.
Love Prague & Love the Honest Guide ♥️ hope I get to meet Janek & Honza when I next visit 🤞
Valuable video! Thank you guys 👍🏻
Hi Janek and Honza! could you consider making a video about attractions for kids (traveling with kids in Prague). I visited your beautiful city but without my daughter and traveling with children is completely different. Greetings from Poland.
If your kids are into animals, I’d deffinitely recommend a Prague Zoo, it’s just a couple minutes by bus from the city centre and it is truly outstanding ( I have been to many zoos all over the world and Prague is still one my favourites ).
13:26 the little "comment" under the video says:
I wonder if someone will freeze frame this and will actually try to read this. See, I'm sitting here by my computer and I'm wondering like "Hey I'd it actually necessary to write some text here?" Mmm let's see!
U're welcome!😉😂
Yes u are right!
😉
As usual, good and informative video. Many thanks
Thank you for creating this video! It was really useful and informational
Went to Prague few years ago and it's true public transport are THE BEST!!!
I've been twice to Praha in the last 6 months and your videos did help me immensely! Keep up the good work, dèkuji! ❤
Your videos are so informative! Full of fun and unique things to see and do. Can't wait to get to Prague one day! 😄
We are looking forward to traveling to the heart of Europe in November. Dekuju for these very informative videos you have made. I have learned so much because of them.
I visited Prague a month ago and your videos helped us a lot. But now a friend of mine who is reliable on a wheelchair just wants to know if Prague (the old town especially) is wheelchair-friendly. I felt bad that when i was traveling in Prague i didn’t paid attention to this detail. If possible, can you make a video about it?
Hi. If your friend wants to spend time touring the city, it should be absolutely no problem. Some restaurants may not be wheelchair accesible, but not many. Many trams are also wheelchair accessible. If not, the next one will be, just wait 5 mins. Except the tram 23 which is historical. Most subway stops have an elevator to the surface. He should be absolutely fine!
@@Veenacz thank you! And may i ask about getting to Petrin Hill? Can ppl with wheelchair hop on the funicular? Or the only option is to get on top of the hill is by car?
Dobry Den! :) .I am coming to Prague as a student in 20 days. Unfortunately, I still have't found any apartment or any type of place to stay in. Could you please recommend some websites that are trusty.
I need to know he same Thing. I have seen videos on this. I need a place for a month, October
Try booking or air bnb
facebook market place
Have found a place to stay? Also need suggestions for a group of 4 😊
Nějaký čas jsem nevěděla Jankovo video v angličtině. Ta vyslovnost je skok. Good job!!!
We just left from 4 nights in Prague to Česky Krumlov where we will be spending only two nights, and I wish it were more! We did watch a few of your videos before our visit, and it was a huge help. Also Jen from "Dream Prague". Thanks to you both for the warning against the jedelniks! There were things I wish I'd watched this video for before hand, but we mostly got it down. Thanks tons. You Prague-ites are SO LUCKY to live there! Everyone we saw on the trams from our lodgings on the #3 and #17 lines (didn't get a chance to use the Metro, darnit) was beautiful and well put together. Of course I notice the women the most, but everyone seemed to have their lives well in hand. We stayed at Botel Racek, with small rooms, but really nice and quiet, right on the river. Lovely staff. Now we are at Pension Gardena in Česky Krumlov in a beautiful room with a garden courtyard right outside our door, and a view of the castle! So cool. Another fairy-tale town. I hope the Czechs appreciate how good they have it!
going to beautiful Prag in 3 weeks, my fifth time :) love Prauge , and when I see your clips , just wanted to go there even more !
💗Your videos and tips are invaluable. Prague is definitely on my bucket list. I'd spend time in Prague, but I'd want to go to places off the beaten path. Less tourist, more authentic.
Prague 2 (Vinohrady) and Prague 8 (Karlín) are good alternatives to the center. I live in Prague 3 (Žižkov) right on the edge of Prague 2 and I love it. So many great streets with local coffee places, restaurants, shops and parks.
@@simonp37 Wonderful. Thank you for your great advice! When ever I'm abroad I try to stay as far away from 'tourist' areas as possible. Even though there's absolutely things to see in them. We always look for and try and support little independent shops, etc.
Vysehrad Fortress - a place older than the whole of Prague, full of history. Also a cemetery of czech famous (Smetana, Dvorak, Mucha, Masopust etc. etc.)
Botanical garden in the center. ZOO.
Prague Islands.
Or outside of Prague - lots of castles, chatteaus, nice places, simply acces not more 1hr away from Prague. Tap a finger on a map :-)
@@Kyk_cz Thanks you so much! All you wonderful people willing to share all these places! Ohhh... but you REALLY have me at castles! I'm a history NERD!
@@simonp37 are most areas in Prague close to the city centre for travellers intending to walk only?
Thank you bro ,your videos are Helpful, when I last year visited Prague ❤❤❤❤❤
Went to Prague this summer and your Videos helpt so much. Thank you
I will never forget the episode where we saw Prague is so safe they need to fake terrorism attacks 😂
One thing that should be mentioned about the currency - the rate changed quite a lot recently. I've already encountered several tourists who were desperately trying to find an exchange office which would give them 25 or 26 CZK for 1 euro 😄 These days you'll only get around 23.50 CZK for 1 euro. If someone offers you more than 24, then it's 100% a scam. Anyways it's always better to check the bank rate before exchanging.
Yeah just type cnb in your google and the first link coming out should be the link to the Czech national bank and it shows the daily rates
I'm coming this Sunday - I've been watching your videos for about 3 years now. Good job fellas...
Going to Prague tomorrow for the first time! Am really excited :) Thanks for all the great advice and tips :)

Years ago, I struggled to exchange dollars because they were written on by the markers that check for fake currency. No one wanted them because they were ''defaced'' 🙄 I honestly prefer Kofola to Cola, but I don't really like very sweet drinks, so mostly stick to water. Tell us how you really feel about those scooters 🤣🤣🤣
Most people here in Prague hates those scooters...
Last Sunday I was out with my schoolmates. We were on a side walk in Sokolská street and one idiot on this FUCKING GREEN SCOOTER screamed like: Uhni! (Get out of the way). I was a bit sleepy but if I wasn't he would be under a car in a second 💀:)). I totally hate those people. They think they're something more than us walking guys :))
Phenomenal video:) I'm studying abroad in Prague next year! This definitely helped me👏
Hi only recently found your videos we are thinking of visiting Prague next year so finding your channel very informative thank you
